COMPASSION HEART. It was great to meet so many people in my life. But the most wonderful things in my life are when people around me start to smile with joyful heart. Street children are one important part of my life and calling. I feel so amazing when I'm around them. So many things we can do for them. I learn more about simplicity of life from them. I know, most of them have many sad and painful background. Some of them have no father. They just live with their mom on the street. Some of them have batter Father, being wounded by the father. Some of them have noone beside them. They have to live alone, going nowhere,sleeping everywhere, and thinking that they 
have no future at all. Some boys told me that at night, they feel so lonely. They have friends, but they have noone. They have no real family that can share love with them. They have so many hidden tears, that make their heart harder and harder everyday. Sometimes, they have to stay awake at night. They have to defend and beware of others street children. They have to face sexual abuse, physical abuse and emotional abuse in their young ages. It's a sad fact. They have noone to protect and guard their life. They have to fight for themselves. Since 2005, God put them in my heart. I struggled and prayed alot for this calling. Finally I said "yes" to the calling and start the street kids service until today. I play with them, share with them, and be their friend. I start from the underbridge children at Central Surabaya. Now We made a small community at the bus station and started our english and basic life skill class there. Touching moment, that some of them start to change. They learned about New Character of life and started to live in it too. Wonderful. Sometime, I share joy with them through my clowning service. I felt so amazing when I saw their face. They could laugh, smile, and even jump with joyful heart. I share HIS joy and compassion through baloon twistings, magic tricks, and even chocolate.One of the boy, named Mamat. I knew him since 3-4 years before. One day he came and joined my clown show. He is 12 now. Years ago, he was so cool, didn't want to talk to anyone. I knew he had so many pains in life. But now, I could feel his heart. He start to feel the joyful heart. I shared God's love to him. That evening, I asked him to help me to performed my magic tric show. He was so excited and did it perfectly. We performed with my magic bag and he helped to hold my magic stuff. WOW.... God is so good. I can feel his excitement. Share joyful heart to many.... will make our joyful heart being known. God's love for all today.......
In love with the source of Compassion,
